Practice precaution: close the gap between environmental and workplace PELS 68 chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm are totally unregulated by Cal-OSHA or regulated only for non-cancer effects There is a huge disparity between workplace and environmental protections against carcinogens and developmental toxicants everywhere.

Workplace PELS (if any) for carcinogens and developmental toxics are much weaker than environmental standards ,[object Object],[object Object]
